The prophets promised this salvation throughout scripture beginning at the promised seed in Genesis 3:15. Jesus revealed unto Paul mysteries that were not made known by the prophets in the holy scriptures and were hid in God (Ephesians 3:9). Made known through Paul was the full salvation by the cross to freely justify all men (Romans 5:18). Paul preached Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery and also by the scriptures of the prophets (Romans 16:25-26). Paul by the gospel of God declared Jesus as the Son of God by his resurrection and so make him known. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No other apostle to my knowledge suffered as much as Paul did, yet he was content and didn't let his circumstances dictate his service or inner joy and peace in the Lord Jesus Christ. Other things I find interesting; unlike the other 12 Apostles, Paul did not witness the Gospel, miracles, death, burial and resurrection of Jesus. There's several years not accounted for in Paul's life after his conversion on the Road to Damascus. Paul was a Pharisee of Pharisee's and a top scholar of the law, trained by Gamaliel himself, but knew nothing of the Gospel. I suspect and the Bible hints that Paul was personally taught by the Lord Jesus Himself, and given the blessings and privilege to reveal some hidden mysteries; such as the Rapture / Resurrection. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Paul received revelations from Jesus Galatians 1:11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man. 1:12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
